Effects of early discharge planning on length of hospital stay.

E A Farren.   

Abstract

This experimental research tests the effect of discharge planning on length of hospital stay. In this study of 432 medical patients in a southwestern medical center, discharge planning implemented within 24 hours of hospital admission significantly reduced length of stay. Projected savings to the institution far exceed the cost of implementation.
